The process of foreclosure allows a lender to repossess property to which they hold title, and sell it to make up for missed mortgage payments.
While property owners also risk foreclosure for delinquent tax payments, it's important to note that lenders have the legal right to assume ownership of homes which have delinquent loans.
However, foreclosure is an expensive and lengthy process and many lenders prefer to work out payment plans with a homeowner if possible. Banks and other lenders would rather avoid accumulating real estate which they must then sell.
